I have my movies in many folders, some examples: Swedish, English, Pirates, Vikings, Comedy, b actor etc.  Some of my TV shows are running series, but I have also documentaries by subject (e.g. Submarines, Ships, Planes, cars etc). So that's why I want to navigate by folder.

Hi, I just got a Synology 918+ NAS. I'm trying various options to show all my movies on TV shows on it. Basically, I'd like to have the old-style Windows Media Server  interface, e.g.. I have all my films sorted carefully in different folders and would like to navigate using these folders. Simp0lified example:

Movies folder
  Folder.jpg (indicating movies)
  Comedy folder
    Folder.jpg (indicating Comedy)
    Comedy Movie 1.avi 
    Comedy Movie 1.jpg  
    Comedy Movie 2.avi 
    Comedy Movie 2.jpg  

  Action folder
    Folder.jpg (indicating action)
    Action Movie 1.avi 
    Action Movie 1.jpg  
    Action Movie 2.avi 
    Action Movie 2.jpg  

I have the latest WebOS installed. When I try to use the built-in video-photos DLNA player it doesn't show the folder.jpg for each folder, the folders just have a generic icon. Then the film icons (e.g. "action movie 1.jpg") are truncated at the top & bottom,with  pretty poor quality. But at least I can navigate by folder.

My next try  was to use Plex. It shows each films icon beautifully and some info from the internet (nice to have, but I don't really need). But it doesn't show the folder icons, in fact it doesn't show folders at all, everything seems to be lumped into one big pile. I tried various profiles in the Synology DSM Media Server for the TVs.

Can anyone recommend some media server that behaves like to old Windows Media Server? Seems Kodi isn't running on WebOS.
